Keeping it Coastal During the Holidays

We love colored lights and tinsel as much as anyone, but we also love alternative holiday decor that fits naturally with the coastal interiors you find on the island. Incorporating natural elements into seasonal decoration is quite easy. Here at MVID and Bespoke Abode, you'll find us utilizing the same materials we love and use daily to transform our space. Driftwood, silvers, golds, winter whites, shells, metals, burlap and twine can all be used to add a wintry holiday touch in your home.  Here are some examples of how we will be keeping our seasonal decor coastal:

silver bells, ornaments, in driftwood bowl - ideal for a center piece

white driftwood garland and natural wood tree

Liz in Martha's Vineyard Home and Garden Magazine! On the newsstands now.....

Martha's Vineyard Magazine called on our senior designer Liz Stiving-Nichols for insight on using color in non traditional ways......

Liz Stiving-Nichols, owner of Martha's Vineyard Interior Design in Vineyard Haven, advises that homeowners start with a neutral base to ground the living area.  "It doesn't have to be white or tan," she says.  "It can be navy blue.  Then add a chartreuse to contrast the navy".  A punch of vivid color can be pulled in with accents, pillows, or artwork."  Liz says she likes to use what she calls "the perennial elements of the site," such as the view, the water, or wildflowers in the garden, for instance, as a starting point for the palette.  "Then turn it up a notch" she says, by using different values of the colors that are outside the house. 
"Color," she sums up, "should be a true reflection of the owners lifestyle and personality".
